Looking at it again, there's nothing to grab attention apart from that bloody blob of foliage. The objects near the road are rocks which define the borders of the track so that vehicles are confined to specific areas. The only cars in the photo are in the very top left hand corner. There are a couple of people walking around up there as well..... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:25 -0400, "Ken Waller" <kwal...@peoplepc.com> wrote: > Nicely done but with the Pinnacles being the point of interest, the > foreground brush is distracting. I agree - I have a few non-pano images taken closer to the actual rock formations. I think they give a better indication of scale so I'll PESO one shortly. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:33 -0500, "Tom C" <caka...@gmail.com> wrote: > I was going to say it looks like the view is from up above.

I'll just jump in the car now and nip on back. It should only take - let me think - oh, about 7 weeks.... Thanks for the comment - if only I'd thought of doing that when I was there! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:45 -0700, "Jack Davis" <jdavi...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Interesting, photogenic terrain, Brian. Well composed. Thanks, Jack. But the more I look at it, the less interesting it becomes. I think I was seduced by the beautiful light and didn't take enough interest in picking a better location. Live and learn.... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Thu, 08 Oct 2009 14:24 -0400, "John Sessoms" <jsessoms...@nc.rr.com> wrote: > I don't think the foreground foliage harms the image, and I don't see > how you could get rid of it without losing the elements on the right, > which I think are important to the image. Yes. I couldn't do much better from where I was shooting but if I'd had more time. I could have chosen a better location. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:26 -0400, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: > Yeah, there might have been a better vantage point, but it looks pretty > darn good. Thanks, Marnie. The light was wonderful, although there was a lot of cloud moving around so it was quite variable. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:51 -0400, "frank theriault" <knarftheria...@gmail.com> wrote: > I like.

I'd recommend it to anyone going on a longish trip.
